Question

A surfboard was originally priced at $75 but went on sale for 60% off. If Quincy bought the surfboard and paid 10% sales tax, how much did he pay in total?

Answer 1

$49.5

Explanation:

60% of 75$ = 45$

60/100 x 75/100 = 4500

4500/100 = 45

10% sales tax on 45$ = 49.50$

10/100 x 45/100 = 450

450/100 = 4.5

4.5 + 45 = $49.5
